Pei Qianying's words were full of sarcasm. The merchants were overbearing and arrogant! The reputation of Yuli City had already been extremely bad. Even the major families who were apparently attached to the merchants were secretly ulterior. They were not sincere.
Dependent on merchants.
They are just using the business name to gain greater profits in Licheng.
Luo Chen nodded to show understanding. This time his attitude was very subtle. He neither refused nor agreed. Pei Qianying was not in a hurry. She stayed in Zhong Mansion for a while and then left with a smile.
Looking at Pei Qianying's leaving figure, Luo Chen was silently lost in thought, thinking about the scene and content of his previous conversation. He had to admit that this woman's methods and courage were not inferior to Shui Qianrou's in some respects.
, it’s still more than that.
In the afternoon, Luo Chen accompanied Butler Wei to drink tea and chat in the pavilion of the other courtyard as usual. This has become a habit.
Tea tasting is an art, which he learned from Butler Wei. This old man has a habit of drinking tea. Every time he takes a sip of tea, he rinses his mouth with it. According to the old man, this
It's called a mouthful, but in Luo Chen's opinion, it's a waste.
Whenever he saw Mr. Wei spit out a mouthful of special tea, his eyes would twitch violently. With just one mouthful, at least three or four gold coins would be gone.
Although Luo Chen was helpless, he didn't have much to say. But when the old man asked if there was any special tea, he refused to say that he had it. What a joke, even she didn't have much left of this tea.
In stock.
After lunch, Luo Chen returned to his room and entered the black stone monument to practice. In front of the sixth stone statue in the stone monument, Luo Chen's figure appeared here.
Taking a deep breath, the rich soul energy around him was sucked into his body and easily transformed into soul power.
If it weren't for the time limit when he could enter the stone monument, he really wished he could stay here.
After calming down the irritability in his heart, he stared at the stone statue in silence for a long time, and then began to destroy the statue for the Nth time.
In the stone statue, the spiritual power was assisted by a mysterious force to form an entity. On the surface, it seemed as if Luo Chen's body had directly passed through the stone statue and entered this different-dimensional space.
Dotted with stars, Luo Chen was standing on a floating foam rock, with a solemn look on his face. Opposite him, on a rock less than ten meters away, another Luo Chen faced him far away, looking a little weird.
Can't tell the authenticity.
The two Luo Chen stood on each side, and in the next moment, they rushed towards each other at the same time. Their movements were consistent, even the strength of the attack, the intensity of the soul power fluctuations, and the physical strength displayed were all exactly the same.
The spirit fighting skills performed are all exactly the same!
The only difference is that the Jia Luochen that Luo Chen is fighting has unlimited physical and soul power. There will be no embarrassing situation of running out of strength or soul power. He will only become braver as he fights.
Half an hour later, Luo Chen's mind was blown away and he announced his Nth challenge to the Broken Image, which ended in failure once again.
He secretly cursed in his heart, bastard, I really don’t know which bastard bastard formulated this damn test of annihilating human nature. Through some special means, he created a perfect and invincible mirror copy of himself and fought with it. This is...
From his perspective, it was clearly impossible to defeat.
The test inside the stone statue is to use your mind and spirit to fight against your own body. There is no chance to use the Horcrux. Under such circumstances, this so-called challenge of breaking the statue is undoubtedly asking for abuse!
This is only the sixth stone statue, but there are three more standing behind it, and each one is more perverted than the last. Damn it!
Luo Chen stepped out of the stone tablet with a curse. As soon as he came out, there was a knock on the door. Luo Chen put away the black stone tablet. After a while, he saw Shen Ke walking in with a small mouth and told Luo Chen that Pei Qianying
here we go again.
In the living room of Zhong Mansion, Luo Chen saw a panicked Pei Qianying. This woman didn't know what happened. She seemed to be frightened. After seeing Luo Chen, the first thing she said was
It was to inform that the weather in Licheng was about to change.
…
The Shang family's mansion, not far from the city lord's palace, was covered with dark clouds and lifeless. At this time, on the street outside the Shang's mansion, crowds of people gathered around in circles, and various pointing sounds were heard.
When Luo Chen arrived, what he saw was a ruined Shang Mansion with all its members wiped out. On the stone steps in front of the mansion, the plaque inscribed with the Shang Mansion was shattered on the ground. There was a vague palm print in the middle of the plaque.
It was shot down and trampled to pieces, which made people sigh. The most eye-catching thing was the corpse hanging on the brass door!
Shang Chunqiu, the patron saint of the Shang clan, the former commander of the Shang Dynasty in Licheng, is about to become the new head of the palace in Licheng, a strong man in the seven-star martial arts realm!
But what no one expected was that just when this man was at his most energetic, he was assassinated in front of his house, along with the entire Shang clan!
The black-armored army was heavily guarding the outside of the mansion. The city residents and major families who were watching the excitement could only watch the corpses being carried away from a distance without being able to get closer. The person responsible for maintaining order was none other than He Xu!
Luo Chen stood in the crowd, feeling very uneasy at the moment.
Soon, the Shang family was destroyed, and the news of the tragic death of the leader of the Shang Dynasty spread quickly. For a moment, the people in Licheng were panicked, and all the major families in Licheng felt a chill.
Overnight, one of the top wealthy families in Licheng was wiped out, and not a single dog was spared. This kind of ruthlessness is truly cruel to a heinous level!
Luo Chen's brows were furrowed tightly, and he stood there alone in a trance, not knowing what he was thinking in his heart.
In Licheng, there are definitely powerful forces that can quietly destroy the Shang clan. However, if you want to quietly kill a powerful soul master with a cultivation level as high as the mid-seven-star realm.
Or, it has to be incredible.
"Don't you, the Pei family, claim to have the largest news network in Licheng? What is going on?"
Luo Chen looked at Pei Qianying and asked.
"How do I know this?" Pei Qianying replied angrily, frowning and relaxing, thinking for a while and then said: "But last night, a very strange thing happened. In the early morning, Shang Chunqiu dispatched three people.
Thousands of black armored troops surrounded the city lord's mansion."
"Oh? Is there such a thing?" Luo Chen was a little surprised and became interested. Something must have happened last night, which caused the entire Shang clan to be exterminated.
But who could be doing this? He has such strength! For a moment, Luo Chen thought of Yuan Tengfei. With the latter's strength, he could indeed do it, but as far as he knew, since the last fight,
, Yuan Tengfei left Licheng quietly, obviously it was not the former.
He has the strength to kill a strong man in the middle stage of the martial arts realm. The person who does this has at least reached the late seven-star or even peak level, or even higher!
"Interesting, this Licheng is getting more and more interesting."
Luo Chen smiled and shook his head, turned around, and walked towards the back of the crowd. Pei Qianying stamped his feet angrily and hurriedly followed. The Shang clan was brutally destroyed. Logically speaking, she should be enjoying herself, but she didn't know what happened. She felt so blocked in her heart.
Very powerful.
She did not tell Luo Chen that just last night, the link between her Pei family on the road from the City Lord's Mansion to the Shang Mansion was severed by a big hand. Therefore, even she herself had no idea what happened last night.
It's also blank.
And not only that, in the past few days, some of the Pei family's informants in Licheng would disappear inexplicably. Once or twice, they could be interpreted as a coincidence. But after the massacre of the Shang Mansion last night, she smelled something.
Share conspiracy!
There was a layer of gloom hanging over Licheng, and the atmosphere was extremely depressing. On the bustling streets, pedestrians were in a hurry and did not dare to wander for a long time. Before the murderer was investigated, the citizens of the city and the major families in Licheng were all panic-stricken.
Licheng was in turmoil, the Black Armored Army was leaderless, and the major commanders were fighting fiercely for the position of commander.
There was even more chaos at the city guard garrison. The major commanders resigned and took away their squad leaders. Nearly half of the 5,000 garrison troops were paralyzed. Without the city guards to maintain public order, the order of Licheng was destroyed.
, all kinds of fights can't stop popping up on the streets, and the probability of crime has doubled.
In less than a day, Licheng transformed into a city of chaos. Many unknown strong men appeared one after another, mingle with the black-armored army, and moved into the city lord's palace. After that, these people seemed to have received some order.
, starting from a third-rate small aristocratic family, the tragedy of annihilation occurred again.
As the killings continued to surge, major aristocratic families finally discovered something was wrong. In addition to the disappearance of the slaughtered bodies of all the aristocratic families that were brutally wiped out, their wealth and real estate properties had not been moved at all.
, that is to say, these aristocratic families that were exterminated were not exterminated because of robbery or other reasons.
The unknown is the scariest thing. The city lord's palace is heavily guarded, like a meat grinder, stirring up everyone in Licheng with fear.
For this reason, major aristocratic families sent spies to secretly investigate the matter, and even wealthy businessmen did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to buy the latest news from the Pei family, trying to get some latest news about the city lord's palace. The restlessness of the day passed quietly.
Time passed, and two days passed in the blink of an eye. The summer was scorching hot, and steam was rising from the roasted earth below. In the pavilion of the Zhongfu Courtyard, Luo Chen was sitting on a stone bench holding a letter in his hand.
On the opposite side, Butler Wei smiled and said, "Is it another letter from the head of the Pei family?"
Luo Chen raised his head angrily and glanced at Butler Wei. He was speechless. When did this old man learn to gossip?
Shaking the note in his hand, Luo Chen said: "The water in Licheng is getting muddier and muddier. Although the old man usually lives in seclusion, he must know something after staying in Licheng for so long, right?"
Luo Chen was just asking casually, which Butler Wei put down the tea cup in his hand, and said with an enigmatic look on his face: "What do you want to know?"
There's something going on! Luo Chen was immediately overjoyed and asked quickly: "About the murderous murder that happened recently! Or what happened in the city lord's palace? What was their purpose of doing this? And where did the black hand behind the secret control come from?
power……"
Luo Chen asked a lot of questions in one breath.
